Today, geodesic domes come in an almost endless variety of shapes and styles.
Possibly one of the most famous domes in the world, the Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida, is a geodesic dome.
 
 
 
 
 

We build our own Geodesic Clubhouse!  It was definitely an exciting challenge! It took teamwork to build this structure. We each had a job such as rolling paper, measuring tubes, cutting, marking and assembling. Everyone had an important role in getting this structure put together!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone! It's going to be another busy and fun year in 3-4.  We are going to learn about many things again this year.  We will be learning about Mexico, Vikings, magnets, plants, soil, structures and much more. We'll have fun discovering strength while trying several challenges such as towers and bridges this month. Stay tuned as the students blog about their learning and add pictures and video. Check back soon!
